JOINT FLEET MAINTENANCE MANUAL

COMFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3 REV A
3.4.3 Establishment of Current Ship's Maintenance Project. The ship's Current Ship's Maintenance Project (CSMP)
will be initialized at delivery. That does not mean however, that significant maintenance related events do not
happen during the construction period. In fact, every industrial activity has their own deficiency tracking programs,
all of which contain a certain degree of data that should be retained in the ship's CSMP. The problem is that this
data resides on industrial activity computers which for the most part do not "talk" to Navy computers. When the
ship leaves the industrial activity, it generally leaves without this data. Ship's Force will load into the CSMP any
deficiencies not adjudicated at delivery and any historical construction related maintenance data deemed worthy of
future retrieval.
3.4.4 Shipboard Nontactical Automated Data Processing Program. Naval Management Systems Support Office
(NAVMASSO) is responsible for the software development, installation and required training associated with the
Shipboard Nontactical Automated Data Processing Program (SNAP). Ship's Force should initiate liaison with the
appropriate NAVMASSO branch to facilitate SNAP implementation and training. Additional details describing the
NAVMASSO support function are addressed in Volume I, Chapter 2, paragraph 2.10.3 of this manual.
3.5 EQUIPMENT LOAD OUT.
3.5.1 Test Equipment. The General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE) load out involves personnel from
the ship, the Supervising Authority, Naval Weapons Station, Crane, IN and Naval Calibration Laboratory, Seal
Beach, CA. The actual load out will vary dependent upon the platform. Generally, the equipment arrives during the
construction phase and is stored by the shipbuilder until load out. Ship's Force, if not requested to do so by the
Supervising Authority, should inventory and identify shortages while the GPETE is in storage.
3.5.2 Hand Tools and Weight Handling Equipment. Hand tools and weight handling equipment will also be
arriving. Inventory of this equipment against Allowance Equipage Lists (AEL)/Allowance Parts Lists (APL) or
class specific load lists at the earliest opportunity ensures the required support material is available when
maintenance of equipment begins. Weight handling equipment requires certification prior to use and while it may
be months before this equipment is required, a recall schedule should be developed to get the equipment certified.
3.6 LOGISTIC SUPPORT.
3.6.1 Technical Manuals and Drawings. Technical manuals and drawings are provided by the Supervising
Authority and the Navy. The shipbuilder develops and provides manuals and drawings for all Contractor Furnished
Equipment (CFE), including equipment furnished by subcontractors. In the case of Government Furnished
Equipment (GFE), the shipbuilder will identify the required manuals to the Navy Publication and Printing Service
Manuals Office, Washington, D.C., via the Supervising Authority and the Ship Program Manager. Navy Publication
and Printing Service Manuals Office will deliver the manuals to the shipbuilder. For the first ship of a class,
equipment manuals for new design GFE may not be immediately available from the Navy Publication and Printing
Service Manuals Office. These manuals will be shipped with the equipment by the vendor. The shipbuilder shall
provide stowage and custody of this documentation until actual shipboard loadout. To ensure all required technical
manuals and drawings are received, initial documentation validation should be accomplished on a random sampling
basis with emphasis placed on low visibility items such as power supplies and electronic subsystem manuals. Final
validation will occur during loadout. Each Ship Program Manager has assigned an activity with the responsibility
for loading out of Technical Manuals and Drawings. Contact the Supervising Authority or the Navy Distance
Support Anchor Desk to determine the Program Manager. The Anchor Desk can be reached at 1-877-418-6824 or
by e-mail (help@anchordesk.navy.mil).
